Hi - this whole section of the TechNet TOC is about upgrading from WSS 3.0 to SharePoint Foundation 2010: technet.microsoft.com/.../cc303309(v=office.14). The article you reference is about upgrading to 2013. There is a dropdown at the top of each article that says "Other Versions" that can get you back to the 2010 version of the documents, rather than the 2013 version. Sorry for the confusion.

Where is the relevant article about doing an upgrade from Wss 3.0 to SharePoint 2010 Foundation. All documentation and Microsoft articles suggest this is NOT possible. You are the only place I have found that says this is an option. If the "guidance" has changed then why has not the coresponding TechNet articles? technet.microsoft.com/.../ee947141.aspx Also the links you have provided no1 point to 2013 and no longer mention WSS 3.0 as a viable upgrade version.

Hi - upgrading from SharePoint Server 2007 Enterprise to SharePoint Foundation 2010 is not supported. Since you did a database attach upgrade, I assume you have a backup copy of your databases. You can restore them to your 2007 farm to get back to that state. You can then upgrade to SharePoint Server 2010.

Help- Migrated from SP2007 Ent to SP2010 Foundation — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 15:24:17 GMT

I know what I have done is not a good procedure, I have installed SP 2007 Enterprise then migrated to SP 2010 foundation.

During migration I got many errors when I ran Test-SPContentDatabase, like missing webparts missing templates , etc, I ignored them and continued.

Now whenever I create anything new like document library I got:

Unexpected error correlation ID:XXXXXXXXXXX

The search Is not working at all.

I believe all of this is related to these missing webparts

Now the Sharepoint is live , how can I get out of this?

Please help me.

Best Regards

Hi Petrolej - sorry about the confusion. The guidance changed such that WSS 3.0 can now be directly upgraded to SharePoint Server 2010 by using database attach upgrade. I'm updating the relevant article in the upgrade content this week to reflect the change, but it might take a while for us to republish the downloadable book version of this article.

Hello, this is a good information for me as we plan to upgrade from WSS 3.0to SharePoint Server 2010 (not Foundation). But in the upgrade guide (www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx) on the page 67 it is claimed that this upgrade path is not supported.

What should we believe to?
